Biography

I am Karzan Othman Dawd, and I hold a Bachelor's degree which I received at Koya University in 2013 in English Translation. Later in 2020, I got Master's degree at the same University in English Language and Linguistics.

From 2013 to 2017, I went through profound experiences working as a translator and interpreter with a group of teachers from Kaplan International Languages Company. Moreover, I was the co-founder of the Translation Unit at Koya University translating almost all university-related stuff.

In 2014, we established the Behar English Language Centre (BELC), where I held the position of Course Coordinator for the English Language Courses and served for 3 successive years there.

After achieving my Master's degree and completing the Pedagogy course, I was promoted to Assistant Lecturer and started teaching at the English Department/ Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences/ Koya University.

On 19/02/2023, my service was formally transferred from Koya University to Raparin University. Since then, I have been proudly an Assistant Lecturer at the English Department at the Faculty of Basic Education, and Course Coordinator at the Directorate of Language and Development Centre.
